Nov.2 (GMM) A third grand prix on the trot looks set to be disrupted by rain.
Bad weather affected the consecutive Japanese and Korean events recently, and rain is already disturbing the teams as they set up early this week at the Interlagos circuit in Brazil.F1's first sign of rain came at the weekend, when a golf tournament contested by Rubens Barrichello in Sao Carlos - a city of the Sao Paulo state - was cut short due to heavy rain.And as the big teams including Ferrari set up at Interlagos on Monday, workers took cover inside the pit garages when a rain storm struck.For the weekend, the initial forecasts predict possible showers across Friday and Saturday, with a reduced chance of rain for Sunday.Last year's Brazilian grand prix, held in mid October, was badly affected by rain, with delays protracting qualifying to an excruciating 160 minutes."There's always a chance of rain," said local Barrichello this week.
